On going work on a P.T.O sherman Dio. The foliage is made from fake plants and grass and some for the plants are made from wire with fake plastic leaves glued on.

Foliage made from plastic plants and then painted with dark green then lightened with yellow ands buff




soldiers to add

Great painting and construction of all the elements. The only thing I'd say is that, from a historical perspective, not so much. The decals and setup of the tank indicate an Iwo Jima scene, but the tropical plants like the ones you have there do not exist on Iwo.

Gary-- WOW! Great paint job...what brand and colors did you apply.

Thanks for the advice Robert, history was never my strong point.

DJ - The tank was painted in yellow tamiya The green colour was Nato green then a second coat applied with Nato green mixed with yellow. and oversprayed with green to tone it down. The model was then finished with a toned colour of tamiya Buff.
